All For You

You just don’t appreciate me
And all the things I do
When I don’t come home until late
I do it all for you

I treat you like a movie star
After two days I call you on the phone
Actually I treat you like Greta Garbo
She wanted to be alone

You don’t understand the sacrifices
That I make each day of the year
Instead of wonderful quality time at home
I spend lousy time drinking beer

Sometimes I stay up all night with a friend
Because she’s, I mean he’s feeling down
You want me to be a more caring person
So it’s for you I’m on that side of town

I hope this will help you understand
Why I do all the things I do
So you know when I’m not home for a week
That I’m doing it all for you.


Just fun and fiction!!!!!

Love the justification in the poem of why the voice is not coming home....this piece made me chuckle because I have heard these lines used before and seen the women who have fallen for them...
